Digital Nomad Visa Index rating system
As noted, the uniqueness of the Digital Nomad Visa Index is an integrated approach to the ranking, which takes into account a number of factors that directly affect the lifestyle of a digital nomad. Each country is given a unique value based on this diverse set of criteria.
As observers emphasize, factors in this evaluation system include: the availability of Active Visa, internet speed, taxation policy and tax-free duration, income requirements for visa applications. Attention is also paid to the cost of living in euros in a particular country, the Global Health Score (GHS), and the popularity of tourism.
All these factors combine to form a normalized score, highlighting the countries that are most suitable for digital nomads. The methodological scoring formula balances the various factors by giving more weight to aspects such as internet speed, tax-free length, and tourism popularity, as well as taking into account the cost of living and the availability of a digital nomad visa.
According to experts, the final score, called the "digital nomad score," is obtained by normalizing the initial score using a special formula. This normalization process ensures that the scores are compared across countries and ranked according to a single indicator.
